The Whispering Verses Chapter 2866: Helena’s request
Chapter 2865 Helena’s request
Xia De could only stay here for an hour this time, but he didn't feel anxious at all while drinking tea and warming up in the rain. This was also a novel feeling for him who was always busy.
Occasionally when he stops like this, he will think about whether he has been walking too hastily. But the road has come so far, and it is impossible to look back. Looking back carefully, the foreigner himself feels that some things along the way are too incredible, so he cherishes his current life very much.
The sound of footsteps was heard at this time, and then the black-haired lady squeezed into the tent and picked up another tea cup from the tray. There is a smile on the elegant face, and the black hair still looks very smooth even in today's humid weather:
"I just sensed someone appearing around the tree hole. When I walked over, I guessed that it must be you again. Although I thought you would come sooner or later, I didn't expect you to come again only two days later. . Seeing how leisurely you are drinking tea this time, you must not have been exiled again, right?"
Her smile was very charming, and she was obviously really happy for Shade's reappearance. Shade noticed that she was wearing the [Tail Ring] that had become a cat toy on her finger, and then thought about what she left last time:
"This time I came for a ceremony and will leave in forty-seven minutes. Do you know? Last time I didn't go back directly. I encountered a heavy fog in my dream, and then I I saw a casino in the fog."
Xia De described the events of [Destiny Casino] in the sound of rain. After he finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the lady beside him who was hiding from the rain. The latter was illuminated by the bonfire and looked very three-dimensional. The smile on his face is still gentle:
"Do you want me to find that casino and change my destiny?"
"Yes, since it can be done there"
The fingers of the sorceress’s right hand touched Shade’s lips, forcing Shade to stop speaking. The rain was pattering outside, the raindrops hitting the leaves and then sliding to the ground, while the bonfire in front of her illuminated every detail of her face that was close at hand.
Although Helena Carter is not an unreasonable "perfect creature" like a witch, there are still no flaws visible on her face. Time and experience failed to leave many marks on her face. At this moment, Shade even thought inappropriately that maybe Denister Gustave first met this lady when she was young many years ago. When she was young, she was equally gentle.
"Shad, do you want to change the past and make me live again in your era?"
Xia De immediately shook his head:
"As long as I don't see you die, it's hard to say whether you are actually dead in my time. I call this the 'time observer effect', so it's not about changing the future. ”
"Do you want to say that you are choosing the future?"
She did not blame Shade too much and retracted her finger. The gentle look in her rose-red eyes similar to Miss Danister's became more obvious:
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous. Even if you can travel through time, even if time is willing to accept you, don't try to control time, just like you don't control fate."
She paused deliberately, and Shade could see himself in her eyes:
"People who control time, no matter how confident they are or feel that they have thought of everything, will eventually find themselves falling into the trap of time. You don't understand this, right?"
Of course Shade understands the series of things that happened in Lakeview Manor in the first summer after the arrival of the strangers because of "The Puppet Operator's Notes" and his subsequent attempt to use the "Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny" Challenging fate but almost dying suddenly on the street had taught him not to try to manipulate fate.
"It's not that I don't understand, but I feel that your death is a pity?"
He couldn't come up with a suitable statement for a while, and it was obviously inappropriate to say "I don't want you to die."
"Is it because you don't want to make Daniste sad?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked. Shade pursed his lips, and then said seriously:
"This is only part of the reason, and it's also because I really don't want to see you turn into a cursed tree after you die."
The black-haired sorceress of the Thirteen Rings held the teacup and laughed:
"Stop trying to 'help' me. I'm already luckier than most people. After all, I figured out my destiny many years before I died. Can you promise me? Don't try to change things about me. If If you still respect me, then promise me.”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xia Decai said:
"Okay, I promise you."
"You and Daniste are really similar in some ways. You are both the kind of people who care about others, but don't like to say it out loud. Oh, this black tea is really good."
Then he winked at Shade:
"Tell me, what happened recently? Is there anything you need my help with?"
After defeating the demon last time and being exiled, Shade has been busy with things related to the Battle of the Time Chosen and the remains of the World Tree. Now that he said these things one by one in the sound of rain, he didn't feel much relaxed:
"The investigation is now at a deadlock. We haven't been able to find a way to defeat the dragon beast or the underground 'Watcher' for the time being. So for the time being, we can only wait for the elf to come back from the past. Maybe she will bring some new ones. Clues."
The black-haired lady just listened to him talk about these things:
"I will not easily interfere with what happened after my death. Only you and Daniste can do these investigations. But I have compiled my own thaumaturgy research notes, and you will be going to the High Circle soon. Well, since Danister, the teacher, is a bit unsatisfied, let me help you."
She took out a notebook from her small bag and handed it to Shade, who used the "Silver Moon Library" to record it in his bookshelf:
"We actually don't want to bother you all the time, come to think of it"
He hesitated for a moment, worried about destroying the stability of time, but it didn't matter if he thought about it carefully:
"Miss Danister was very angry after I went back last time. No, it's not accurate to say she was angry. She really wanted to see you."
"Do you still want to persuade me to meet her?"
"No, no, just okay, I don't care about this matter. You all have your reasons. You can handle it yourself."
The black-haired sorceress raised her lips and smiled, and continued to watch the fire and listen to the rain in the tent with Shade. The weather in the summer of 1821 was normal. This ordinary rainy day did not have much special meaning, but it was somehow particularly reassuring.
Shad did almost nothing in this short hour. When he appeared in the cloakroom of Flora's room, covered with moisture, the witch immediately came up and sniffed:
"Although the smell of forest soil is very strong, I can smell the scent of perfume. Is it Daniste's teacher? You should be lucky that it's me here and not her."
"I just said a few words to her."
"It's raining over there, and you can still smell her perfume. Didn't you huddle together and talk for an hour?"
By the time Shad lost his glass slipper and returned home, and then went from the tree hole to Miss Elf's tree house, the ceremony here was also over.
The ladies are drinking tea and waiting for Shade. Luvia looks unchanged after losing her qualifications, while Emilia is not directly promoted from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, but the lines on the back of her hands become more... It’s complicated.
Now that the qualifications have been transferred, the next step is for Emilia to start her time journey. "Feliana's Notes" and the academy's preparations can be taken out at any time, which means that in theory Emilia can leave now.
But Shade is still a little worried and plans to tell Emilia another story about what happened in the Vista Grove. Of course, in the unlikely event that she fails to reach St. Byrons, the college also needs to make other preparations.
So he discussed with Luvia and planned to wait until Friday to let Emilia leave, and the elf in the forest asked Shade to come find her then:
"I know there is a place in the woods that is suitable for holding a ceremony. I will take you there when the time comes."
This Wednesday ended with a group of people saying goodbye to the elves. Emilia looked a little nervous when she returned to the hotel. Shade guessed that she might have insomnia tonight. And he planned to rest after washing, but before he and little Mia fell asleep on the pillow, the door was pushed open and closed, and then someone got on the bed.
"Luvia?"
He turned slightly sideways and looked at the purple eyes, and asked in surprise:
"You weren't feeling well last Saturday, and it's only Wednesday now. It's only been five days"
"It's not over yet, I just miss you a little."
She kissed Sha De gently on the face:
"Carina is on the boat tonight. I originally thought Dorothy or Vanessa would come over tonight, but I just went to see Dorothy and saw that she was not in the room but went to Aggie. Over there; Vanessa is chatting with Miss Winslet, and I don’t think she’ll be able to come over tonight.”
She looked at Sha De with a smile and put her arms around his neck:
"That's why I'm here. Sometimes I really envy the witches, who work all year round."
"Don't let Carina hear this."
"You're kidding, I don't envy them. I know what you like is what I want to do now? I know you have many tricks."
Xia De then held her in his arms:
"In your impression, is my image so bad? Go to sleep, don't you think Miss Sylvia and Margaret are coming tomorrow? If you have time, we can go to the train Stop to pick them up."
Luvia nodded slightly and put her head in Shade's arms, and soon both of them fell asleep.
She didn't tell the truth just now. Actually, she came here tonight because after the duel with Emilia at night, she saw some impossible things in her fate. She didn't know whether it was because she had misinterpreted fate or something else. What, anyway, she is not that kind of bad woman.
