The Whispering Verses Chapter 996: The final adventure in the fifth era 5177
Saturday night was the date between Shade and Lesia. After Shade woke up from his "coma", he heard Luvia mention that Dorothy seemed to have made some preparations for this night. But unfortunately, Dorothy's "special period" that started on Tuesday did not end on Saturday night.
After the study meeting on Saturday afternoon, when Her Royal Highness the Princess's soul exchanged into the body of the writer, and saw Dorothy's message in the notebook, she had a very ugly expression at that time.
Of course, although her physical condition during the "special period" does not allow her to eat too cold food, at least it will not affect the normal date time. Although it no longer snowed, the cold winter and the snow on the road made Shade and Lesia, who used the body of the blonde girl, reluctant to go out.
The two of them sat in front of the fireplace that night on a clean carpet, each holding a book for the exam at the end of next month to study. The firelight illuminated their faces, and a lazy cat curled up in front of the fireplace.
Although there was not much conversation between the two throughout the night, Shade could tell that at least before the break, Lesia was quite satisfied with the evening.
"When I have time, I will paint 'Shadow and Dorothy in front of the Fireplace' into an oil painting, frame it, and hang it in my own bedroom. My oil painting skills are very good, and I will definitely be able to complete it before the end of the year."
Before going to bed, Lesiya said to Shade. She was wearing pajamas and in front of Shade, she temporarily put the [Eternal Youth Leaf] in the drawer of the study with some regret, her green eyes lowered slightly. Xiang Shade:
"What a shame."
Shad knew what this meant, and little Mia was able to rest on the bed in her bedroom on Saturday night for the first time in a long time. This is a treatment that this cat has not enjoyed for a long time since the first "Red Butterfly Night".
Because he went to bed very early on Saturday night, not only Shade, who was preparing for his last adventure in Fifth Epoch 5177, woke up very early, but also Lesia.
When the blonde girl opened her eyes, the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling reminded her that she was at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square. When I got up, I realized that Shade on the other side of the bed was gone, but the sound of brushing teeth from the bathroom meant that he hadn't left yet.
Not only was there a sleepy Lesia on the four-poster bed, but on the outside of the soft pillow on Shade's side, the dazed cat was also awakened by Lesia's movement to get up.
The cat woke up early in the morning, its eyelids drooped, and it looked stupider than usual, without any hint of cleverness. It kept lying down and looked around to make sure Shade wasn't around before standing up. The buttocks were slightly raised, and the two furry front paws were pushed forward and the back paws were pushed back, making a stretching movement. After stretching, little Mia immediately became energetic.
It ignored Lesia on the bed and jumped off the bed neatly. After walking around the bed, Lesia only saw the cat's figure flashing past the bedroom door, and heard that it was going to the bathroom to find Shade.
Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at the pillow to make sure that no hair had fallen out, and then slowly got up. Because there is steam pipe heating and the fire in the fireplace is not extinguished, the temperature in the home is acceptable. She arranged her pajamas, touched her chest to compare the difference between the two bodies, and after confirming that Dorothy was still the same recently, she stepped on her slippers and opened the curtains to the bed in a good mood.
"Oh, the silver-white city."
There was not much fog this morning. At six o'clock sharp, St. Teresa's Square was covered with snow, but there was already a series of clear footprints on the snow. It seemed that it snowed again last night. Lecia remembered that when she came back yesterday evening, the snow in the square had already been cleared.
Saint Teresa Square is the core neighborhood of Tobesk City, the Pearl of the North. When it snows, the city hall will send people to clean up the snow in the square. This is also part of the city's public services. Of course, there are only a few places in the city that can offer this kind of treatment, so it makes sense that the land and housing prices in Saint Teresa Square are expensive.
It's just the snow in front of the residents of St. Teresa Square. They need to clean it themselves or hire someone to clean it. Although it doesn't matter if you don't clean it up, if you live in a civilized neighborhood like this, if all the snow in front of your neighbor's house is cleared away, and only the front of your house remains the same, you will be looked down upon by your neighbors.
"Send someone to help Shade clear the snow today."
Looking out the window at the snowy scene in the winter morning, Her Royal Highness the Princess thought to herself. Her hand played with the golden hair hanging in front of her right shoulder, admiring Dorothy's hair quality in her heart. My eyes unconsciously saw the blurry indoor reflection on the glass, saw the big bed, and felt a little bored.
Shad was still the same as in previous weeks, planning to complete the Time Key adventure first and then come back for breakfast. When Lesia walked out of the bedroom, she saw Shad packing books into toys and putting them in boxes, and then putting the black suitcase into toys and putting them away.
Casting a spell on the "toy" requires more energy, but Shade is still repeating his actions.
"Why do you bring so many books?"
Lecia asked curiously, picking up the cat at Shade's feet to prevent it from disturbing the busy detective.
"Today is the last time I use this key. Because I am not sure what the final test will be, I have to bring more extra things. Special items and relics that are not mission targets cannot be taken with me. to the past, so I can only bring as many books as possible."
Shad said, turning the last suitcase into a toy.
He picked up the glass bottle on the coffee table and drank the No. 4 holy water in one gulp to replenish the consumed spirit. Although drinking a large amount of holy water in a short period of time would severely weaken its effect, this was the first time he drank it today.
Lecia looked at Shade with some annoyance while holding the cat and preparing to leave. After the Day of the Red Butterfly, of course Shade also tried using bedsheets to turn her and Dorothy into children through thaumaturgy [Toy Making]. The toy, of course, also failed.
Lecia still remembers that when Dorothy and Luvia mentioned this matter in a private conversation, the female diviner breathed a sigh of relief. Her Royal Highness the Princess understands Luvia's thoughts, but she still hopes that she and Dorothy can prove their relationship through [toy making].
"Meow~"
The cat in my arms thought of something and meowed softly.
"Are you taking Mia with you?"
Lesia asked.
"No, no, it's still too dangerous there, and you see, this cat doesn't want to go with me."
Shade waved to little Mia as he spoke, and the smart cat barked at him without any intention of breaking free from Lesia's hands.
"Look, it really doesn't want to move. Oh, let me think about it, I have all the water bags, books, and holy water."
Taking out the time key with dense cracks on the surface, he waved his hand to Lesia:
"Wish me luck, Lesia, and hope everything goes well this time."
"Yes, my knight, good luck to you."
Lecia came over and kissed the side of Shade’s face. Shade smiled and touched his cheek:
"May the World Tree protect me in time."
He inserted the key into the door lock where he was lying on his side
Click~
The key was turned, and behind the door that was pushed open was the familiar white fog door.
For Lesia, Shade's adventure only lasted three seconds, so Shade went straight in without saying goodbye again.
A familiar reminder of "her" came to my ears:
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time". 】
[Message from the ancient **** "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of Fifth Age 5177, Broken Islands, Lost Lake. 】
[Event: The witch pursuing eternal beauty. 】
【Duration is thirty minutes (3/3). 】
[You have obtained additional information. 】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree continues to watch you. 】
[The test given to you by the ancient **** of time will continue. 】
[Help mortals visit gods and learn the secrets of eternal beauty. 】
[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Ritual - Water of Moonlight, Ritual - Fire of Sun. 】
"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to get the next key yet. Where should I get the time key this time?"
Take one step into the white mist, and then continue to move forward. The curtain of white mist opens around, revealing the scenery of the jungle near the lake in the dark night in front of Shade.
The temperature at home is suitable, even a little hot, but at this time the surrounding temperature drops sharply. Shade took a deep breath and let the diffuse calming mist be inhaled into his lungs, which could calm down the extremely active thinking after waking up:
"This is the last time I meet Miss Violet and Miss Theresa."
He looked at the island in the middle of the lake by the dark lake, and he felt a little melancholy when he thought about this. He went through periods of time in the past to find and witness the lost stories, but at the same time he also passed by friends one after another. Everyone in the Fifth Era, whether they are witches or ordinary people, are definitely gone to Shade, who lived in 1853 of the Sixth Era and moved on.
He was lucky enough to be able to see the middle-aged witch and the old man in leather armor on Mount Sikal, and more friends he passed by in the past would probably never be seen again. The story of the Red Butterflies Twins even reminds Shade that it would be a better ending for the story to have his friends from the Fifth Age sleep in their own time than to meet him again across a long period of time.
Xia De felt a little melancholy, which he attributed to his active thinking after waking up early in the morning. There were strange noises coming from the strange dense forest behind him. Shade stepped directly onto the lake without stopping.
When the lingering fog blurred his retreating figure, a group of red butterflies exuding scarlet colors flew into the distance in the fog.
The area of Lost Lake is much larger than the Cherubim Lake in Huntington City. Shade walked silently through the water, enduring the extremely cold air rushing from his feet to his body, getting closer to the center of the lake. island.
