"The old horse left with the departed soul, and the departure of the soul made the boatman change the direction and carry you to the safe other shore. When the sun rises at dawn on the third day, you who have been sleepless all night understand that you have to leave.
My companions have been unable to come back. You disembark at the small pier, and in front of you is the endless blazing desert."
"Sorry, I have questions!"
Shade's voice sounded in the deliberate pause of the god. People who listened to the story carefully looked at him, and then saw a man with golden cracks all over the soft cushion holding a cat. The silver cat had disappeared, and was
The little orange-white Mia, who was held in Shade's arms, moved her head and squinted her eyes, looking very comfortable:
"I know that I will change back when dawn comes on the third day, just like I suddenly returned to my current form just now. But why am I wearing clothes? Oh, I am not a pervert, I mean, this potion does not
The function of making people wear clothes.”
"Traveller, have you confused stories and reality? In this deep night, this kind of confusion is very dangerous."
The dusty traveler smiled and asked him:
"We're just telling a story, and it's a very sound travel story. How is it possible for you to be really naked when there are ladies around?"
What she said was so reasonable that Shade couldn't even think of a reason to refute it. The witch smiled slightly, the maid still looked serious, and the bard recorded what happened here while feeling sad.
He probably doesn't know that after leaving, there will be no records or memories.
"Sorry, please continue."
"Starting from the third day of the trip, because you didn't get enough rest the night before, your mental state is not good. But fortunately, you didn't travel long distances yesterday, so it didn't affect your physical strength. The departure of your companions still makes you feel bad.
I feel sad, as the possibility of encountering corpses and undead incidents today has increased."
She motioned for everyone to draw cards, and this time the maid Clara did it. Originally, Shade was worried that they would encounter things like pyramids during the desert trip, but fortunately this time they were finally lucky, and the card turned out to be an oasis:
"The travelers are very lucky. They found an oasis just after entering the desert. You took a short rest in the oasis and replenished food and water. The replenishment of water made you confident that you could walk out of this desert, but the blazing sun
Still steaming and roasting your bodies."
It was still dark around them, but Shade felt his body feel a little warm inexplicably. Fortunately, the scene described in the story was very different from the reality at this time, so the impact on them was smaller this time.
The god signaled everyone to continue drawing cards. This time, the witch Arela Andriana was the one to draw, and the card surface turned out to be a mirror.
"The scenery of desert travel is boring and monotonous. The joy of discovering an oasis in the morning will soon be blown away by the wind and sand. When the hot afternoon sun shines on you, you just want to leave here as soon as possible. And at this moment,
The unicorn discovered a brand new oasis in the distance, but when you rushed there, you found that it was just a mirage."
"Mirage is not bad, at least it is not dangerous."
Shade comforted the witch. This lady seemed to have been having bad luck.
However, things are more complicated than Shade thought:
"Travelers who have mistakenly entered a mirage will soon discover that it is not a simple natural phenomenon. Illusions and chaotic spaces surround you, preventing you from moving forward. No matter where you go, you will return to your original position. The heat
You are tortured by hunger and thirst. If you don’t leave as soon as possible, your journey will end here. Now, what are you going to do?”
The god asked everyone, and the witch covered her forehead and said:
"This is bad luck... Unicorns have the ability to break illusions. Since I broke into this place with a group of people, I will lead everyone away. The traveler under the moon taught the unicorn how to use himself
The power, now I want to try to find the right path."
After saying that, she saw Shad and the cat in his arms looking at her, so Miss Andreana asked suspiciously:
"What's wrong?"
The maid beside her reminded carefully:
"Miss, the bottom of your hand is shining."
So she took away the hand covering her forehead, and sure enough, she found that her forehead was emitting a golden light. Shade and the bard on the other side were trying their best to keep their faces grim, not to show strange expressions, and to prevent
At this time, the witch who obviously had a bad temper got angry.
The god smiled and reminded:
"The ability of a unicorn is not omnipotent, but at least you made an attempt."
Three silver mirrors - about the size of the mirror above the sink in Shade's bathroom - appeared in front of the witch. The mirrors of the three mirrors reflected the unicorn and the loyal dog beside the unicorn, not the witch and the maid.
Appearance:
"The ability to break illusions allows you to see the exits in three directions that appear in front of you. Unfortunately, the unicorn's innate ability does not include the powerful perception of space. You can only choose once. Once you choose the wrong one, you will lose your ability due to the intensity of your spirit.
It is too consumed to make a second attempt. And if you fail to leave before that night, something terrible will happen."
The witch's expression immediately became serious. Seeing that the gods did not prohibit her from casting spells, she tried to use her own power to check the three mirrors, but of course she found nothing.
Shade, who was holding Mia, had almost completely understood the rules of this story. He reminded:
"This is the mirror in the story. No matter how powerful you are, you can't affect the story. You have to use the power in the story, the power of the unicorn."
"But I'm human now."
Miss Arela Andreana said softly, but she also knew that what Shade said made sense.
"No, you are not a human, you are a unicorn."
Shade said with certainty.
"Yes, miss, you are a unicorn."
The maid in black skirt on the side also agreed, and then the bard also expressed his agreement in a low voice.
Although the witch was unhappy that her race had been changed at will, she did not say anything. Instead, she frowned and looked at the three silver mirrors in front of her. No one spoke for a while, but the golden light mark on the witch's forehead became brighter and brighter.
.
Until, the golden horn actually appeared on her forehead. For a moment, her eyes saw a different scene in the mirror on the left. The witch groaned and lowered her head, and the light on her forehead disappeared.
:
"No, it's not the one on the left. I saw the black dust, I saw the omen of death, not the one on the left."
"Miss."
The maid in black skirt supported her worriedly, and Miss Andreana quickly raised her head and said to Shade:
"Not only can we influence stories, stories can also influence us. Just now, I really discovered that I have the innate ability of a unicorn. It was not a temporary acquisition, but I really learned it. But I am sure that my ancestors definitely did not have it.
Had an affair with a unicorn."
"In other words, the power in the story can also be obtained by us in reality?"
Shade raised his eyebrows, and then lost interest. He didn't have any special abilities in the story. The traveler under the moon was just part of his ability, and he did not turn into a magical animal.
The bard was very interested in the points raised by the witch, but he did not know what connection he had with the parrot. As for the maid Clara, she was more concerned about the safety of her master.
"It's up to you."
The witch continued to pant and said to Shade:
"I can only see that the mirror on the left is not the exit. There are two left. You can choose any one."
"No, you just said that we outside the story can affect the inside of the story, just like on the first day of the trip, you bribed the old witch in the candy house with gems and asked her to let us go."
"But none of the items I currently have can cope with the current situation."
The witch shook her head slightly.
"No, you do. Think carefully about what can give you guidance."
Shade looked at her. The latter suddenly realized and took out the cards that Shade had just checked from his pocket:
"Yes, since this divination card guided me here, it can continue to provide me with guidance...but what should I do?"
Shade has never really utilized the power of the Impermanence Card, but he has seen others use these special cards:
"Put it in front of your eyes and try again to see through the remaining two mirrors."
Shade guided the young witch, and the latter put the card on her face. She didn't quite understand how an ordinary card could unearth power, but she focused her scattered energy and used inspiration to try to capture that little bit of power.
With a fleeting flash of her soul, she suddenly discovered that an unusual sight really appeared in front of her eyes:
"It's the mirror in the middle! I saw it, I saw the truth of the chaotic space!"
She suddenly exclaimed.
Shade smiled. In this way, if he finds this card in the Sixth Age, he may be able to let the chosen one hold it to reveal the secret of the chaotic space of the island in the center of Green Lake:
"If you can still concentrate, take a look at the woodland around us and see if you can spot anything."
The witch did as she was told and pointed the cards at the surrounding woodland, and the gods did not stop them from wasting time doing this. The young witch frowned and gave her own answer:
"Sorry, I can't tell. It looks normal here, but we all know there's nothing normal here."
Shade was not disappointed either. After all, Miss Arela Andriana was not the chosen one for the Sixth Era epic, but was only the temporary owner of the All-Chapter Card. It was still a bit difficult to pry into this lost woodland related to the gods.
Too difficult.
"The travelers chose the right direction. Under the leadership of the tired unicorn, they finally walked out of the desert hinterland full of illusions. They continued to move forward, and the sun gradually set toward the horizon. When dusk came, travel
The other party set up camp to rest. So, will it be peaceful this night?"
The god asked with a smile. Shade looked at the bard, who nodded and reached out to touch the next card above the deck. And the card on the card was a lute.
"A relic in the shape of a lute?"
Shade was suspicious, and subconsciously tried to block Little Mia's ears with both hands, but the cat broke free.
The departure of the old knight caused some changes in the bard. He mustered up the courage, lowered his head and asked the god:
