The young girl whispered, and Shade shook his head:
"It's getting late, so I'll leave first. Ms. Bullock, I would like to ask you to help take care of these two. Of course, if anyone else comes here, please leave them behind. I will take them with you next time."
You guys get out of here together."
The thirteenth-level witch was roasting the fire and agreed, and then the three of them saw Shade "stuffing" the cat into his chest pocket, and then stepping on the rippling water at the end of the beach with a curious look on his face.
Shade didn't expect "water walking" to actually work here. Out of curiosity and running out of time, he stepped on the water and crossed the pier and the boat, walking all the way to the depths of the water.
Facing the dark endless water, the loneliness and fear were even more obvious than when he took the boat deep into it. Shade was actually curious about what was under this water, but even if he was about to leave, he had no intention of doing such a thing.
Make trouble for yourself.
So he just kept moving forward. After walking more than fifty steps, he turned back and looked back at the bonfire at the dock. He smiled and waved to the three people looking over:
"See you next time."
When he turned his head to look forward again, his eyes widened in surprise, because the black water covered with thin white mist was already covered with dense corpses.
Those corpses floated one after another on the water, and even the gaps could not be seen. But if you scanned the left, right and front, you could see these floating corpses everywhere in your field of vision.
A soaked hand stretched out from the water and grabbed Shade's right foot. Then, something huge under the water seemed to be awakened, and two dots of red light penetrated from the corpses.
The water below lights up.
"It turns out that the souls of those who were taken away by the ferry started a new life to forget this life, while the corpses stayed here as the boat carried the souls away, and the bodies floated quietly behind the boat without knowing it.
There’s really an atmosphere on the water.”
Before being pulled into the water, Shade, who was entangled in white mist, had already left this time and space.
From the perspective of the three people sitting by the bonfire at the dock, he just gradually walked away until he was no longer visible in the thin fog.
(Little Mia is running)
Stepping out of the door of Miss Elf's tree house in the autumn morning, although it looked a bit cloudy, the early morning sunshine and the vibrant trees still made Shade happy to leave the strange place just now. He took a big breath
He took a breath of fresh morning air, then said with a smile:
"I'm back."
"You were only gone for three seconds, so there is no need to say hello like this."
The blond elf who continued to eat breakfast said this. Shad pulled up the chair and sat at their table, and handed the blindfold on his arm back to Sister Devlin:
"It has been used up. You will never guess that in the past time, I saw the fire-bearing nun from the fifth era in death."
The elf girl continued to nod, her attitude very perfunctory. The nun turned her head and put on the eyepatch again, and after arranging her hair, she "allowed" Shade to see her face:
"The destination of the fire-bearing nuns is always to turn into firewood."
She stopped talking for a moment, and Xia De was confused, so she asked again:
"Have you accepted the guidance of other fire-bearing nuns?"
The voice was obviously as calm and emotionless as before, but for some reason, both Shade and Miss Elf at the same table felt cold.
"She" chuckled softly in her ears, and the blond elf girl immediately lowered her head that she had just raised. The cat that had just been transformed back by Shade now got into the gift box on the table again, seemingly for a moment.
Maybe he doesn't plan to come out.
Shade felt that Sister Devlin seemed a little angry, and he nodded hesitantly:
"Yes, in order to thank me, the nun gave her sister a spiritual rune and a magical technique that can leave an eternal flame mark."
Although half of Sister Devlin's face remained expressionless under the eyepatch, Shade clearly felt that the surroundings seemed to have become colder. He had not done anything wrong, but at this time he felt as if he had committed a crime such as destruction.
The world's biggest mistake.
He originally wanted to introduce the thaumaturgy in detail. The nuns who also used the First Fire might be interested in the "techniques" of other nuns in the Fifth Age. But at this time, he wisely shut his mouth, so they both
There was silence, and the only sounds around were the morning wind blowing the leaves, the elves beside him, and the two nuns eating behind them.
Perhaps because it felt too quiet, little Mia poked her head out of the gift box and looked at Shade. However, it probably didn't understand Shade's "do something quickly, like knocking over the plate" look in his eyes, so it shrank again.
return.
Finally, Shade took the initiative and said:
"In the future, I will not accept any other cultivation practices."
"No, it's okay."
Sister Devlin said softly, and the strange atmosphere around her suddenly returned to normal. The elf girl who just felt like a stone was pressed on her chest just now exhaled, and then found Sister Devlin "Looking"
He looked at her, then lowered his head and continued eating obediently.
"Generations of nuns have different abilities, but the changes of eras and various events have not allowed all the knowledge and power of the nuns of all generations to be passed down. Those nuns who spent their lives guarding the First Fire could not wait while they were alive.
The fire-wielding hero will turn into ashes after death and still have the responsibility to help you."
??????55.??????
She grabbed Shade's right hand and felt it for a while, but quickly let go:
"She just gave you strength and didn't mention the first fire?"
"That Sister Bullock said that the First Fire has been greatly weakened in our time."
Sister Devlin did not comment on this:
"We will come back as soon as possible after leaving the local area. The residual warmth of the ancient flames brought news, and the momentary feeling made me touch something: there seems to be fire in this forest."
The stranger just nodded. Based on his current understanding of the weirdness of the Vista Grove, he would not be surprised by anything here:
"Well, I will also pay attention to the rumors in this regard. Will you live in the city after you come back?"
The silver eyepatch looked at the elf girl, who immediately said:
"Just let the nuns live here. If there's not enough space, I'll build some tree houses. It won't be a bother anyway."
It seems that these tree houses were also built using thaumaturgy, probably similar to Shade's "Traveler Camp".
After breakfast, due to the special nature of this "inextricable woodland", Miss Sylvia's portal could not be opened here, so Shade and the elf girl first sent the three nuns outside this area.
.
Sister Devlin then used Miss Sylvia's space beacon - a hexagonal crystal. With a buzzing sound, the space shattered like glass, and then a rotating black-gold vortex appeared out of thin air.
This was not a one-way door, because the young black-haired witch emerged from the vortex first, and then she saw Shade with a surprise expression on her face:
"Good morning, Shade."
"Good morning, Miss Sylvia."
He also smiled and greeted, so the great witch of space passed through the portal and hugged Shade:
"I knew you would definitely come to see Sister Devlin off. Margaret had just left, and she must have regretted not waiting a little longer.
Margaret originally wanted to persuade her mother to come to Vista City to watch the concert, but you also know the current situation. The Queen believes that it should not be allowed to let the public see that the royal family is still on vacation at this time of year. It is really a pity.
Woolen cloth."
She hugged Shade and took a deep breath:
"But it's okay. This place is very close to Willendale. If Flora bullies you, remember to tell me~"
After saying that, even Shade laughed.
Then Shade and the elf girl waved goodbye to the three nuns. When the portal disappeared, Shade turned around and planned to send her back to the tree house before entering the city:
"Speaking of which, do you know the 'Nightsinging Elf'?"
The blond elf nodded:
"Of course I know, this is also a very famous elf clan. Although the Nightsong elves and our Yuexi clan have different beliefs, because the elders intermarry, many people are related to each other. There are many Nightsongs in St. Byrons.
Where are the elf students?"
"oh?"
Shade then asked curiously:
"All the Nightsong elves have also settled in Academy City in St. Byrons?"
The elf girl then explained:
"Of course not. They had their own settlements in the Fifth Era. At the end of the Fifth Era, they gradually moved to places where civilization has not yet spread. The largest gathering of Nightsing elves is now at Zarath Academy of Literature, Serkesai
Scotch School of Medicine and the Nightsong Elves of St. Byrons are small settlements.
In addition to the three major colleges, I heard that they also have a large island gathering place on the overseas islands in the eastern part of the old continent. There are also one or two small settlements in the rain forest in the southern part of the old continent. So if you want to find the Yege clan
Elves, you must first figure out which one you are looking for."
So with new questions, Shade and little Mia entered the city together. When they left the forest, the weather was still gloomy, but by the time he got off the carriage in front of the Accordion Hotel in the city center, raindrops had already begun to fall.
.
The coolness brought by the autumn rain easily made people realize that more than half of the year had passed, and when Shade knocked on the door of Room 317, he found that there was an extra easel in Miss Danister's room.
The easel was placed in the corner of the living room where it could get sunlight. On the shelf was an oil painting that had been painted but was still drying.
From an upward angle, the picture depicts a young man holding a huge moon standing on the top of a golden spire against the background of a dark blue starry sky. The lens of the picture is extremely wide, and the city with lights can be seen. From this, the blue of the night sky is connected with the city.
The golden color contrasts.
And in the background of the moon, which is painted using transparent techniques, there is actually an owl flying across the night sky.
The colors of the whole painting are deep, and the atmosphere of the painting is grand and a bit strange and bizarre because of the depicted starry sky, but it is also bizarre and a bit warm because of the depiction of the city scene below.
None of this prevented Shade from seeing that this was probably describing the scene that happened above the Golden Concert Hall last night.
PS: The picture in this chapter is "Flora's first oil painting".
