Chapter 996 The final adventure in Fifth Epoch 5177
Saturday night was the date for 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 it was very unlucky.
Yes, 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, her expression was very ugly at that time.
Of course, although her physical condition in the "special period" does not allow her to eat too cold food, at least it will not affect the normal date time. Although it is no longer snowing, the cold in winter and the snow on the road make Xia De and use
Lesia, who has the body of a blonde girl, doesn't want to go out.
That night, the two of them sat on the clean carpet in front of the fireplace, each holding a book to study for the exam at the end of next month. The firelight illuminated their faces, and there was 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 going to bed, 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, Lecia said to Shade. She was wearing pajamas. 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 and looked at Shade.
:
"what a pity."
Shade knew what this meant, and little Mia was able to rest on the bed in the bedroom for the first time in a long time on Saturday night. This was something the cat had not enjoyed for a long time since the first "Red Butterfly Night"
treatment.
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 she got up, she realized that Shade on the other side of the bed had disappeared, but the sound of brushing teeth came from the bathroom.
The voice indicated that he had not left yet.
There was not only a sleepy Lesia on the four-poster bed, but also a sleepy cat on the outside of the soft pillow on Shade's side, who was also awakened by Lesia's movement.
The cat woke up early in the morning. His eyelids were drooped, and he looked clumsier than usual. He didn't look as smart as usual. He kept lying down and looked around to make sure that Shade was not around before he stood up. His buttocks were slightly raised, and his two furry ears were raised.
She pushed her front paws forward and her back paws backward, making a stretching motion. After stretching, little Mia immediately became energetic.
It ignored Lesia on the bed, but jumped out of the bed neatly. After walking around the bed, Lesia only saw the cat's figure flashing past the bedroom door, and heard the sound of going to the bathroom to find Shade.
Already.
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 was a steam pipe for heating and the fire in the fireplace was not extinguished, the temperature in the home was acceptable. She arranged her pajamas and touched them.
After comparing the difference between the two bodies on her chest and confirming that Dorothy was still looking the same recently, she stepped on her slippers and opened the curtains to the bed in a good mood.
"Oh, the silver city."
There was not much fog this morning. At six o'clock sharp, St. Teresa's Square was covered with snow, but there were already a series of clear footprints on the snow. It seemed that it had snowed again last night. Lesia remembered last night
When I came back, the snow in the square had obviously 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
With this kind of treatment, it makes sense that the land and housing prices in Saint Teresa Square are high.
It’s just that the snow in front of the residents of St. Teresa Square needs to be cleaned by the residents themselves, or they need to hire someone to clean it. Although it doesn’t matter if they don’t clean it, but living in such a civilized neighborhood, if the snow in front of the neighbor’s house is cleared
, as long as the front of your house still looks like that, 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 hands played with the golden hair hanging in front of her right shoulder, and she admired Dorothy's hair quality in her heart. Her eyes unconsciously saw the blurry interior on the glass again.
In the reflection, I saw the big bed and felt a little bored.
Shade was still the same as in previous weeks, planning to complete the adventure of Time Key before coming back for breakfast. When Lesia walked out of the bedroom, she saw Shade packing books into toys and putting them in boxes, and then put the black
The suitcase is turned into a toy and put away.
Casting another spell on the "toy" requires more energy, but Shade is still repeating his actions.
"Why do you bring so many books?"
Lesia 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 to the past with me.
, so I can only bring as many books as possible."
Shade 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.
.
Lesia held the cat with some annoyance as she watched Shade prepare to set off. After the Day of the Red Butterfly, Shade of course also tried using bedsheets to turn her and Dorothy into toys through thaumaturgy [Toy Making], and then
Of course it failed.
Lesia still remembered that when Dorothy and Luvia mentioned this matter in a private conversation, the female fortune teller was really relieved. Her Royal Highness the Princess understood Luvia's thoughts, but she still hoped that she and Dorothy
, being able to prove that feeling 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."
As Shade said this, he waved to little Mia, and the smart cat barked at him, showing no intention of breaking free from Lesia's hands.
"Look, it really doesn't want to move. Oh, let me think about it, I have brought the water bag, 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."
Lesia 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 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 from "her" came to my ears:
【Outlander, you have stepped into the "corridor of time".】
[Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]
[Spring of Fifth Age 5177, Broken Islands, Lost Lake.]
[Event: The Witch Pursuing Eternal Beauty.]
【Duration 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 god 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 the Sun.]
"Speaking of which, I haven't had time to get the next key yet. Where should I get the time key this time?"
Taking one step forward into the white mist, and then continuing forward, the curtain of white mist opened around, revealing the scenery of the jungle beside the lake in front of Shade in the dark night.
The temperature at home was suitable, even a little hot, but at this time the surrounding temperature dropped 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 it. He went through periods of time in the past to find and witness the lost stories, but at the same time he was also rubbing shoulders with friends one after another.
Passing by. Everyone in the Fifth Era, whether they are witches or ordinary people, to Shade who lived in 1853 of the Sixth Era and moved on, they are all people who must have passed away.
He was lucky enough to be able to see the middle-aged witch and the old man in leather armor on Mount Sikal. But more friends he passed by in the past will probably never be seen again. The story of the Red Butterfly Twins
It even reminded Shade that it would be a better story ending for his friends in the Fifth Age to sleep in their own time than to meet him again across a long period of time.
There was some melancholy in his heart, which Xia De attributed to the fact that he had just woken up early in the morning and his mind was active. There were already strange noises coming from the strange dense forest behind him, so Xia De did not stop and stepped directly onto the lake.
When the lingering mist blurred his retreating figure, a group of red butterflies exuding scarlet colors flew into the distance in the mist.
The area of Lost Lake is much larger than the Lake of the Cherubim in Huntington City. Shade walked silently through the water, enduring the extremely cold air rushing from his feet to his whole body, getting closer to the island in the middle of the lake.
