"It's a really good story of love and sacrifice. Although the plot is simple, it's also a good fairy tale for children."
The gray-robed god commented that the bonfire in front of him was gradually returning to its original state, and in his hands, a thin little book was taking shape, which was the story of the "Sleeping Princess".
Shade stood up holding on to the ground, and temporarily gave Mia in his arms to Miss Olanold. He asked respectfully:
"God, this story is not over yet. The kiss of true love can save the princess in the story, but in reality, only real sacrifice can save those who cannot wake up. Can you lend me your power temporarily? I want to
As the man who brought this story into the world, I want to show you the true power of this fairy tale."
"This is your story and your strength."
The gray-robed sage handed the small book in his hand to Shade, and golden light spots scattered towards Shade, giving him enough spirit to use the Mystery Lock once.
At this time, the fourth spiritual rune of the three rings had just appeared. With a vague feeling, Shade could almost reach out and touch the edge of the mysterious magic.
God gave him temporary power, and with everyone watching, Shade came to the ice coffin. He pushed open the lid and picked up the crimson-haired witch.
Miss Samuel's face flushed with excitement, the god nodded slightly, and Miss Olanold watched this moment quietly.
"Is it out of pity, or out of reward?"
The god asked, and Shade, whose body showed a golden afterglow, shook his head slightly, and the glow illuminated Miss Fiona Drago's face:
"I just want to help them."
He thought again of Joey Barton:
"Everything has a price, and I am willing to sacrifice my own strength to save others."
Of course, he would do this kind of thing as little as possible, but now he was willing to pay the price.
"Selfless sacrifice?"
The god smiled. Shade hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Yes, not for any reward, not even for mercy, I just want to help them."
"I see, this is what mortals call sacrifice."
The god held the scepter in his hand and suddenly tapped lightly on the floor tiles. With this sound, the feeling in Shade's heart finally reached the limit.
The bonfire disappeared and the sound of the wind stopped, but the surroundings gradually became brighter.
Miss Samuel and Miss O'Lanord looked around, watching the dilapidated hall floor tiles gradually being covered by red carpets, watching the ceiling damaged by the battle overhead extending higher, and the crystal chandelier slowly moving amidst the sound of chains.
hang down.
It's like the stage changes and there is a new scene behind the curtain.
The smell of corruption in the air was swept away, and as the light continued to intensify, beneath the feet was a huge royal palace that was rebuilt based on the front hall of the Cadiz Library.
The splendid decoration is in sharp contrast with the decay and ruin just now. And outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there is a small town distributed in a grid. It is dark outside, and the light of the silver moon shines on the town, illuminating the town.
There are snowy streets and shop windows, but there are no match girls on the streets. And further away, there is a sea of trees. The giant tree crown in the middle of the sea of trees looks far away from the royal palace in the castle above, but no one knows
Is the bonfire under the giant tree still lit?
Shade and the Ice Coffin were located in the deepest part of the royal palace, seven steps higher than where the witches were. Holy silver and emerald green tapestries hung alternately on the walls, which were supposed to be royal seals, but now they appeared
Moon and tree symbol.
And where the throne should have been, the ice coffin was displayed.
Shade looked at Miss Fiona Drago's face and knew that the next action was very impolite, but he could only do this:
"Feel sorry."
He kissed the second principal of St. Byrons, a witch with the blood of the red dragon royal family.
[Sleeping Princess] The characteristics of the secret lock were officially activated at this moment. Shade felt that he was losing something, but he seemed to have gained something.
The four-color spiritual light bloomed on Shade's body and was transmitted to the red dragon witch.
[Outlander, the thaumaturgy "Moon Shadow's Illusion" has been changed to an unavailable state. 】
This is sacrifice.
The loss of the thaumaturgic effect made the soul feel dazed and empty, but in return, the witch's eyelashes trembled slightly when she was kissed by Shade, and then she opened her eyes.
She looked at Shade with burgundy eyes, her face flushed, and she seemed to suddenly understand something. Then, her white sleeves with hollow details hugged Shade, and she responded to Shade's help with a more passionate kiss.
The witches all seem to like the "Witch's Smell" perfume, but different witches will fine-tune the scent of the perfume according to their own preferences. The scent of Miss Fiona Drago's perfume is a mixture of mint and licorice.
odor.
[Sleeping Princess] One of the characteristics of the mystery lock is to "awaken" women who have fallen into sleep, died or are about to leave. Both the caster and the redeemed need to pay a price. The price that Shade paid is
A thaumaturgy is permanently ineffective, and the price paid by Miss Drago is temporarily unclear. However, her injuries were not serious, so the price should not be serious.
When the kiss ended, the spirit given by the gods to release the mysterious locks was all exhausted. The splendid palace faded away, darkness rushed back, and they once again returned to the main entrance hall of the Cadiz Library.
Miss Fiona Drago sat in the ice coffin, her face illuminated by the light of the bonfire. She let go of Shade's neck and smiled at him with a blushing face. After hearing Olanno
After Miss De coughed, she climbed out of the ice coffin neatly.
Gu Peng
"Teacher~"
She walked towards her teacher by the campfire, and when she passed by Shad, the tip of her tail rubbed the back of Shad's hand. Although the tail looked dangerous, it was actually extremely soft. Of course, it couldn't compare to Mia's.
Short tail.
Shade stood there, the life ring behind him slowly disappearing. He was not just giving, the [Sleeping Princess] Mystery Lock was not just the power of sacrifice. When he unfolded the Mystery Lock again, he could kill Fiona Drago
The lady's shadow can be summoned to assist in the battle, or you can use part of the power of the "princess" if you are in a mystery.
That is just the power of Miss Fiona Drago at this time, the awakened "princess", the mark left in the mystery lock.
[Outlander, you have obtained the spell "Power of the Red Dragon". It will greatly enhance your strength in a short period of time, but you will fall into a short period of weakness. 】
[Outlander, you have some insights into "power" and "dragon". 】
"The reverberation of time and space shakes the sleeping power. The characteristic of the mystery lock is that it randomly loses part of its power and restores the departed 'princess'. The shadow of the 'princess' remains inside the mystery lock, and I can obtain some of the properties of the 'princess'. Resurrection
Kiss and the power of summons, it seems that Lecia’s teachings still have an impact on me.”
Missing the red-haired princess and the blond writer whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, he looked up at the gods who were looking at the mortals with a smile on their faces:
"Why, there will be rewards?"
He originally thought that the mystery lock was just a sacrifice.
"You did sacrifice voluntarily, but the world is always fair. Although what you gain is not equal to what you paid, at least your goodwill will not go unrewarded."
The old sage in gray robe took a puff of his pipe with satisfaction, and Shade walked back from the ice coffin to the bonfire.
Miss Samuel patted the cushion beside her and excitedly motioned for Shade to sit down and talk. She was very interested in everything that had just happened. Miss Olanold sat with her student, the former wearing a black
Cloak, hands wrapped around legs, revealing a pair of brown long lace-up women's cloth boots, the latter knelt down slightly behind and winked at Shade quietly.
"It's a very good story. I'm very satisfied. Then I can make your second wish come true. This staff belongs to the descendants of the long-leaf elves. When needed, my followers will appear to help you build the dream you dream of.
's library."
He laid the long wooden staff in his hand horizontally, and then handed the long staff to Shade.
Shade can clearly feel the rich miraculous elements on it without even touching it. Even if this item is not a relic at this time, it can still be called an "artifact".
He handed the long stick to Miss Olanode, who looked at Shade with a disappointed look:
"So, are you leaving?"
"Yes, there are about five minutes left."
Shade nodded, hesitated and then said:
"Actually, I want to seek help when I come here this time. I am fighting a very difficult enemy, and I want to learn more ways to use the [Moonlight Sword]."
Mia finally found a chance, escaped from Miss Olanold and returned to Shade, while Miss Drago looked at the cat curiously.
"It's a pity that time is running out, but it doesn't matter. At least you can all leave here safely. Don't forget to say hello to Miss Feliana for me."
Shade said with a smile, but he was actually worried about the decisive battle with Joey Barton later.
"If you just want to learn some skills, I can help you."
The old sage said with a smile. He was still sitting cross-legged by the campfire and seemed to be in a good mood.
He reached out and pointed at Miss Olanode, and some light spots floated out from her forehead and entered Shade's head. More information about the use of the moonlight sword naturally appeared in Shade's mind. After "Another
The interpretation and identification of "I" easily became a skill that he could master immediately.
That is the technique of using a physical sword, using the "Moonlight Great Sword", and using the "Moonlight Great Sword" to release the "Moonlight Slash".
"This is a small gift. I am not a very strict god."
He said with a smile.
"Thanks you."
Shade nodded slightly and looked outside the huge door frame. The red snow was still going on, but it was much smaller than when Shade first came.
"Witches, please leave now. Although the weather is still very bad, now is the most suitable opportunity."
The god suggested.
"I"
Shade wanted to say that he would set off with the three witches. After all, he still had some time, but the old man in gray robe said again:
"How about you stay here and talk to me again? It's rare to meet someone as interesting as you. We can talk about those stories."
The separation was so sudden. Although they had already known that this separation would last for a long time, when the gods brought this up, both Shade and the witches felt disappointed.
None of them moved. Shade pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak. The bonfire in front of him was still dancing happily, and the sound of the old sage smoking his pipe sounded intermittently. The shadows were floating, but time would not pause because of this.
