Although the information on "Ritual: Calling the Shadow of [Seven-Tails Player]" that Miss Belindel gave to Shade is not complete, it at least contains the necessary parts. The most important ones are the content of the ritual and the prayers. Open
The ritual requires the sacrifice of a large amount of fresh blood, flesh and bones. If the quantity is not enough, flesh and blood such as that of a giant dragon can be used to replace it with "quality".
As for the prayers, they were recorded on a parchment scroll handwritten by the witch. When Shade unfolded the parchment scroll in the study room at home, Miss Carina also looked at it with interest, and then was
The text above made me frown:
"If Bella hadn't lost her head when copying, then this horrible note-shaped writing would be really strange. I have never seen this kind of writing, but just looking at it, I can hear the sound in my ears."
"I haven't seen it either, it doesn't matter, we don't plan to summon it anyway."
Shade said, writing down all these contents. Because "she" was there, there was no need to worry about not remembering it clearly. After he confirmed that he had read all the information in the document bag, he reached out and picked it up and put it on the table.
The wooden key covered with fine cracks:
"It's time to go."
When he stood up, the cat that was originally lying on the desk jumped up. After being hugged by Shade, he didn't want to leave. Shade could see that it wanted to go with him this time, and thought of the cat last time.
Nothing happened after following him, so Shade turned it into a toy and put it in his pocket.
"Sometimes I really envy that cat, who can get your love at any time."
The red-haired duchess said this deliberately, and Shade blinked at her:
"You can also get my love at any time."
"But I don't always have time."
She felt sorry for herself, and then followed Shade to the door of the study:
"Three seconds, right? I'll wait for you here, be careful when you go over there. Come, my knight, please let me give you a kiss of victory."
After saying that, he hugged Shade's neck, stood up on tiptoes and kissed Shade's forehead. Shade raised his hand and touched his forehead, smiled and nodded:
"Then please wait for the story I bring back. I bet the story this time will be very interesting."
The witch pursed her lips and said nothing, but watched as Shade took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole on the inside of the study door.
"May the World Tree protect me in time."

Facing the white mist that was squirming like cotton behind the door, Shade waved his hand behind him again, and then strode in.
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of the Fifth Age 5180, the outer sea, the lightless sea.]
【Event: The "Glory Messenger" cruise ship crashed. 】
【Duration is forty minutes (3/3).】
【You have obtained additional information.】
[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you.]
[The ancient god of time gives you a test.]
[Help the old god "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.]
"Thirty minutes turned into forty minutes. Where was the progress last time?"
Standing in the white mist, Shade asked in her heart, "she" smiled gently:
[The fishing of Witch Teresa and Maid Maxim has been completed, and they are "alive" again. Professor Evans of Zarath School of Literature, you only tried fishing twice, and the "rainbow bird" on the first time was killed by Xiaomi
Ya was so scared that she couldn't fly, and for the second time the professor longed for "Black Flame Ice Wine".]
"Thanks."
Shade nodded, took another step in the white mist, and then as expected, his body fell straight into the sea:
"Oh! I would rather be chased by activated plants in the black mist camp than come to this ghost place again!"
He tried hard to resist the pull of the deep sea and surfaced. He took a few big breaths and squinted his eyes in the rain to look at the lightless but rough sea. The uncontrollable and inexplicable fear came to his heart again, and Shade also
In the undulating water, I saw the light of the campfire in the distance:
"Here!"
He swam hard in the water and finally managed to grab the edge of the floating board before the unknown giant at the bottom caught him.
After climbing up hard, Shade felt that he was so tired that he almost didn't want to move. This sea area was very abnormal. He completely believed that if it were not him but any other seventh-ring or seventh-level witches, there would probably be no one left.
I want to swim here alive.
Fortunately, after devouring the flesh and blood of the nameless dragon, Shade's physical strength was further enhanced. He took a few deep breaths and then wiped the water on his face and sat up. Then he saw the child-like god still sitting there.
I was fishing on the edge of the floating board. When I saw Shade looking this way, he turned around with a smile and asked:
"Did you find the truth?"
The sound reached Shade's ears clearly in the rain and strong wind.
"If you are talking about the truth about the sinking of this ship, you will know it soon; if you are talking about who Miss Maggie Malone is, I can only say that I have a guess now, but it still needs to be verified."
Propping up his body with his arms, Shade climbed on the floating board toward the fire in the center. After getting close to the campfire, not only was his clothes drying out quickly, but even the lost most of his physical strength was slowly recovering. But around the campfire
, the four ladies were still as sleepy as when Shade arrived two times before.
Among them, the blond Miss Teresa and the maid Miss Maxim were nestled together, and their blankets were covered at the same time. Professor Evans was slightly closer to them, and Miss Malone was further away from the three of them.
Without waking up the ladies first, Shade reached for the campfire and spent dozens of seconds to allow his body temperature to return to normal. Then he took out the cat toy in his pocket and let Mia come to this lightless sea.
"Meow!"
The small cat was held in Shade's hand, and then as Shade moved, he slowly approached Miss Malone, who also had black hair:
"Mia, take a whiff. Is her smell the same as Miss Elisa we saw in the cemetery this afternoon?"
The foreigner who used his pet cat as a dog asked nervously, fearing that his guess was wrong. Although little Mia was very dissatisfied with the rainy weather, she really stretched out her little head and sniffed, and then "Meow"
~" called out.
"so far so good."
Shade breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the cat into his chest.
【So, do you really understand its language?】
"You know me best, and of course I don't understand. But looking at little Mia, I know that Miss Malone is at least harmless to me, otherwise this cat would have exploded."
In fact, Shade couldn't make a good judgment on whether Miss Teresa and the others were comatose or asleep. But at least it was easy to wake them up. All they had to do was call their names softly and shake them a few times, and those beautiful eyes would slowly open.
He opened his eyes, showing confusion at first, and then softly thanked Sha De after he was completely awake.
As for Miss Teresa, she also had the additional step of holding Shade's arm tightly and taking the initiative to kiss the side of his face. The young witch was still completely frightened during Shade's absence.
Because Shade woke her and the maid Miss Maxim up first, they were able to tell Shade what happened this time:
"Shortly after you left, we all fell asleep one after another. Later we were woken up by strange sounds. We heard strange music amidst the sound of the waves. We even wanted to get up and dance amid the music."
Miss Theresa was trembling, and Miss Maxim continued to add that although the young maid was one level lower than Miss Theresa, she was obviously able to control her emotions better than Miss Theresa:
"We saw Professor Evans and Miss Malone standing up with their eyes closed, dancing on the edge of the floating board. Then, then, a huge shadow appeared in the depths of the dark sea."
She spread her palms and let Shade see the amulet she was holding tightly that had been broken into several pieces. This was not a common metal or stone amulet in the Sixth Age, but a bone product. The witches escaped from the sunken ship.
At that time, all her luggage sank into the sea. This was the rare personal item she had on her when she was "fished out" by Shade.
The young maid also had a look of panic on her face:
"If it weren't for the amulet given by His Majesty, we would have gone crazy now. That is, that is"
"Don't say it."
Shade stopped her, took out the holy water and handed it to them for them to drink. Then he stood up, but Miss Teresa pulled her sleeve again:
"You, you want to leave, right?"
She looked pitifully at Shade from bottom to top, and Shade could see the fear and uneasiness in her golden eyes:
"I'll go take a look at the place pointed out by Miss Maxim. Don't worry, I'll be right back."
That's the other side of the floating board, which is farthest from where the god is.
"You must be careful."
The maid said quite worriedly, but she still took the initiative to hold Miss Theresa's hand to reassure her. Shade deliberately left the cat on his chest to prove that he was just going back and forth, but at this time, the cat was huddled in his clothes.
The cat clutched the clothes tightly, and Shade didn't want to ruin a piece of clothing just because of the tugging with little Mia, so he had no choice but to give up.
He came to the edge of the other side of the floating board alone. Just like he felt the power of the sea at Yuewan Pier not long ago, he closed his eyes in the rain and felt it with his heart. This time, Shade opened his eyes in just a few seconds.
His expression became extremely solemn:
"The power of familiarity."
[Yes, the evil thing in the deep sea - the power of the Seven-Tailed Player, but it is stronger than the phantom you defeated at Moon Bay Port. 】
The gentle "she" tells the terrible truth.
The stormy sea seemed more terrifying to Shade than ever before. He subconsciously took a step back to the inside of the floating board and hesitated for several seconds before asking:
"You don't want to tell me that there is that ancient evil thing hidden under this sea area, do you?"
