The Whispering Verses Chapter 2124: Return to the Sunless Sea
Chapter 2124 Return to the Sunless Sea
"Wait a minute, I have to go out."
Xia De touched the well-behaved cat and made sure that he had brought all the items he might need with him. Then he told Miss Carina in the direction of the bedroom that he was leaving for three seconds, but the duchess, who was in a good mood early in the morning, didn't care at all, and the voice coming from the bedroom seemed very lazy:
"It's only three seconds. Can't you come back if you skip this sentence? I'm still waiting for you to tell stories at the dinner table. Shade, eat something before leaving. Don't be hungry."
The atmosphere at home was very good early in the morning, which dispelled Shade's haze due to having to swim in the sea.
He nodded with a smile and picked up a piece of sugar cookie from the breakfast spread on the dining table. He took out the key and prepared to set off, but found that little Mia followed his footsteps and came to the door where he was lying on his side:
"Meow~"
The cat rubbed against Shade's trousers and looked very docile after being picked up by Shade.
"You want to eat too? No, oh, do you want to go with me? You have to think carefully. If you follow me, you will be able to eat in thirty minutes. If you don't follow me, you can eat in about one or two minutes. ”
"Meow~"
The cat nuzzled Shade's hand again. Shade thought for a while, pulled the towel on the side, turned little Mia into a toy and put it in the pocket close to the heart.
【Why did you agree to it following you this time? 】
The voice in his ear asked softly, and Shade had already inserted the key into the keyhole:
"This cat is so afraid of water, so he definitely won't dare to run around this time. The environment of the Sunless Sea may seem dangerous, but the floating board is absolutely safe. Since it is willing to go out, I can't always put it there. It stays at home."
"She" chuckled in Shade's ear, and Shade turned the key in his hand.

"Gudong, it tastes very good. The maids' craftsmanship is really getting better and better. It seems that milk is added to it. It turns out that it can still be done like this. May the world tree protect me in time."
He swallowed the last bite of the cookie and stepped into the white mist behind the door.
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[In the spring of 5180 in the Fifth Age, the outer sea was a lightless sea. 】
[Event: The "Glory Messenger" cruise ship crashed. 】
【Duration is thirty minutes (2/3). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】
[The ancient **** of time gives you a test. 】
[Help the old **** "The Giver of Dreams" complete four fishing trips. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy-Dragon Roar, Thaumaturgy-Corrupting Blood Mist. 】
After confirming that the information had not changed, Shade stepped out in the thick white mist. Even though he had been mentally prepared, the feeling of falling directly into the cold sea water still made him almost suffocated.
The water was quite heavy, but Shade still tried hard to keep his face above the water. I don’t know if it has something to do with the blessing I received at sunset yesterday. When I swam in the sea this time, I felt obviously much more relaxed than last time. Last time, it felt like a big iron block was tied around my waist.
Looking around, the surging water was beating wildly with the strong wind in the lightless sea. In a completely dark environment, it was easy to find the only light of the campfire.
Shad didn't want to know what the thing that almost grabbed his ankle was last time. He also remembered the dense corpses under the sea that he saw under the guidance of God before leaving last time.
So while the behemoth in the deep sea surged with his arrival, his body scattered into a group of red butterflies and flew away against the sea surface. This time the action was so fast that the danger disappeared before it even appeared. So the scattered red butterflies reunited at the edge of the metal floating plate. Shade, who was soaked all over, wiped the water from his face and hair, and then realized that it was raining now.
Looking around, the figure of the "little boy" sitting on the edge of the floating board fishing almost blended into the darkness, but the fishing line extending from the fishing rod did not sway in the wind at all. Shade adjusted his clothes, then respectfully greeted the **** - [The Giver of Dreams], and then walked to the center of the floating board.
Around the campfire, the four ladies were not evenly distributed, all covered with blankets and warm clothes that Shade had left behind last time. But no one came to greet Shade, and when he got closer, he discovered that they had fallen into a coma again like last time.
Shad has a very good memory, and he still remembers that among the four people in front of him, except for Miss Teresa, who he caught last time fishing, who has a real body, the others are in a semi-dead state. Therefore, he ignored the other three people for the time being. He hurried forward and hugged the girl whose long golden hair was tied into more than ten braids.
Miss Teresa’s pair of round-rimmed glasses was still with the gods at this time. She looked particularly different from Shade’s memory without wearing glasses.
After testing her breath, Shade put his hand on her forehead. Thaumaturgy - Cyndia's silver moon gift created a dim light that was suppressed by the darkness. Then the young witch's eyelashes that were wet by the rain trembled slightly. Her confused eyes opened to see a worried look on Shade's face, and she opened her eyes. She hugged his neck and sobbed slightly.
Compared to other witches Shade encountered in his past life, Schultz Theresa was obviously much more fragile. After all, she has been living in the college, and this is just her first trip after graduation. Even if there is a maid around to help, it is hard to say whether the maid is trustworthy in her current state.
After crying for a while, she managed to control her emotions. The warm embrace confirmed that she had returned to reality from the nightmare, and the hot temperature of his chest also calmed her cold and chaotic soul.
"You, you are finally back."
The warmth of a living person made her greedy, and the faint smell of sugar cookies on his body reminded the young girl of those people who yawned and went to morning classes, but then went to the college cafeteria to eat against the clock. Breakfast day.
Noticing that Shade was comforting her softly, the young girl finally couldn't help the grievance and uneasiness in her heart, hugged Shade's head and kissed him.
Although it's disgusting to say this, although Shade brushed his teeth this morning, he just ate some food a minute ago. He very much hoped that the food crumbs would not affect the feeling that this kiss brought to the girl in his arms.
Fortunately, she doesn't care about this at this time.
"What happened while I was away?"
Seeing her mood swings so much, Shade asked softly. After ending the kiss, the blond girl also blushed and shrank into his arms, saying "Hmm" lightly:
"The three of them, after they fall asleep or are in a coma, sorry, I can't tell clearly, they will climb to the edge of the floating board and want to throw themselves into the sea. But it seems that the few of us can't leave here easily. There is something to see on the edge of the floating board. The missing barrier prevented them from leaving, so they screamed frantically and prayed with strange movements."
Sniffing the scent of Shade's body, the scent of soap with the scent of lavender and daisy still lingered on the seawater-stained clothes:
"When they were tired, they would come back and continue to coma or sleep. I didn't dare to touch them easily. Once, their collective prayers caused tens of thousands of dead people to appear on the water. Hand."
The young girl pursed her lips and her eyes were a little red, but she did not cry again.
"It's okay, it's okay. This time I can at least 'wake up' one more person, or two if I'm lucky. Although I will leave again, at least this time someone will accompany you."
Shad said, Miss Theresa's grip on his arm was not so tight now.
But Shade asked another question:
"Are you sure that the other three people except you were all human when they were alive? My memory will not be wrong. There must be no problem with you and His Majesty Violet meeting me at Lost Lake, so You are a normal person. But the three of them, your maid, Miss Vayne Maxim, Professor Sarah Evans from Zarath School of Literature, and the ordinary girl, Miss Maggie Malone, who they call themselves The background, is it really true? ”
This is also something that Shade has been thinking about for a long time since he left last time. Considering that anything can happen in the past time, he has to make such doubts.
The girl in his arms pursed her lips and raised her head to look at him:
"I understand what you mean. I accompanied Aunt Violet to see Professor Evans before. I am at least certain that this person does exist. I have never seen that ordinary **** the ship. As for my maid, I My memory also told me that it was indeed sent by my aunt."
"I once read your memory while fishing. The maid's name was also mentioned in the memory of your last correspondence with Miss Violet. But are you sure that the memory is correct? Or, the memory in your memory Is this the maid in front of you?"
Xia De continued to ask, and the confused girl shook her head:
"I don't know anything."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't know. This time I will try to 'fish' the maid first. No matter what the result is, it will be a peace of mind for you."
Miss Teresa nodded, realizing that Shade was going to let her go to wake up the others. Although she was a little reluctant, she still followed him and prepared to crawl to the other side.
"Oh, wait a minute, I almost forgot about this."
Xia De suddenly patted his head again, and then took out the wet cat doll and his coat doll from the wet clothes. He summoned a flame and carefully steamed them dry. After changing into dry clothes, he "transformed" little Mia in the rain.
"Meow!"
Realizing that it was raining, the cat that had just appeared immediately burrowed into Shade's clothes. Before its tail finally entered the clothes, it accidentally touched Shade's chin. The cat squirmed on Shade's chest and adjusted its direction, then poked its little head out from between the buttons and looked around.
When Shade used the "Lost Lake·5177" key for the second time, he took this cat with him, so Miss Theresa also knew it. Seeing the beautiful cat made her feel better. He reached out to touch the furry little head, but was blocked by the cat's claws.
