Shade could only stay here for an hour this time, but he didn't feel anxious at all while drinking tea and warming himself in the rain. This was also a novel feeling for him who was always busy.
Occasionally stopping like this, he would also think about whether he had been walking too hastily. But the road has come so far, and it is impossible to look back. Looking back carefully, the outsider himself feels that this journey has been
Some things are too incredible, so he cherishes his current life very much.
Footsteps were heard at this time, and then the black-haired lady squeezed into the tent and picked up another teacup from the tray. There was a smile on her elegant face, and the black-haired lady even looked at the humid weather today.
It still looks very smooth:
"I just sensed someone appearing around the tree hole. When I walked over, I guessed it must be you again. Although I thought you would come sooner or later, I didn't expect you to come again only two days later. This time
Seeing how leisurely you are drinking tea, you must not have been exiled again, right?"
Her smile was very charming, and she was obviously really happy because of Shade's reappearance. Shade noticed that she was wearing a "ring of tails" that had "now" become a cat toy on her finger, and then thought of the last time
Things to leave:
"This time I came for a ceremony and will leave in forty-seven minutes. Do you know? Last time I didn't go back directly. I encountered a heavy fog in my dream, and then in the heavy fog
Saw a casino.”
Shade described the events of [Destiny Casino] in the sound of rain. After he finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the lady beside him who was hiding from the rain. The latter's face was illuminated by the bonfire and therefore had a very three-dimensional face.
The smile is still gentle:
"You want me to find that casino and change my destiny, right?"
"Yes, if that's okay"
The fingers of the sorceress's right hand touched Shade's lips, forcing Shade to stop speaking. The rain outside was pattering, and the raindrops hit the leaves, and then fell to the ground, while the bonfire in front of them illuminated the surrounding area.
Every detail on her face is so close.
Although Helena Carter is not an unreasonable "perfect creature" like a witch, her face still cannot see any flaws. Time and experience have not left many marks on her face.
Sometimes I even thought inappropriately that maybe when the young Denister Gustave first met this lady many years ago, she had the same gentleness.
"Shade, do you want to change the past and make me live again in your era?"
Shade immediately shook his head:
"As long as I don't see you die with my own eyes, it's hard to say whether you are really dead in my time. I call this the 'observer effect of time,' so it's not about changing the future."
"You want to say that you are choosing the future, right?"
She did not blame Shade too much, she retracted her finger, and the gentle look in her rose-red eyes similar to Miss Danister's became more obvious:
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous. Even if you can travel through time, even if time is willing to accept you, don't try to control time, just like you don't control fate."
She paused deliberately, and Shade could see himself in her eyes:
"People who control time, no matter how confident they are or feel like they have thought of everything, will eventually find themselves falling into the trap of time. You don't understand this, right?"
Of course Shade understands the series of things that happened in Lakeview Manor in the first summer after the arrival of the strangers because of "The Puppet Operator's Notes" and his subsequent attempt to challenge fate with the "Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny" but failed.
The incident of almost being killed suddenly in the street had taught him not to try to manipulate fate.
"It's not that I don't understand, but I feel that your death is a pity?"
He couldn't come up with a suitable statement for the moment, and it was obviously inappropriate to say "I don't want you to die".
"Is it because you don't want to make Daniste sad?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked. Shade pursed his lips, and then said seriously:
"This is only part of the reason, and it's also because I really don't want to see you turn into a cursed tree after you die."
The thirteen-ring black-haired sorceress held the teacup and laughed:
"Stop trying to 'help' me. I am already luckier than most people. After all, I have understood my destiny many years before I die. Can you promise me? Don't try to change my things. If you still respect
Me, just promise me."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Xia Decai said:
"Okay, I promise you."
"You and Denise are really similar in some ways. You are both the kind of people who care about others, but don't like to speak out. Oh, this black tea is really good."
Then he winked at Shade:
"Tell me, what happened recently? Is there anything you need my help with?"
After defeating the demon last time and being exiled, Shade has been busy with things related to the Battle of the Time Chosen Ones and the remains of the World Tree. Now that he is talking about these things one by one in the sound of rain, he does not feel much relaxed:
"The investigation is now at a deadlock. We haven't been able to find a way to defeat the dragon beast or the 'Watcher' underground. So for the time being, we can only wait for the elf to come back from the past. Maybe she will bring some new clues."
The dark-haired lady just listened to him talk about these things:
"I will not easily interfere with things after my death. These investigations can only be done by you and Daniste. But I have compiled my own thaumaturgy research notes, and you will be going to the High Circle soon. Since
Danister, the teacher, is a bit unsatisfied, so let me help you."
She took out a notebook from her small bag and handed it to Shade, who used the "Silver Moon Library" to record it in his bookshelf:
"We actually don't want to disturb you all the time, come to think of it."
He hesitated for a moment, worried about destroying the stability of time, but it didn't matter if he thought about it carefully:
"After I went back last time, Miss Daniste was really angry. No, it's not accurate to say she was angry. She really wanted to see you."
"Do you still want to persuade me to meet her?"
"No, no, just okay, I don't care about this matter. You all have your own reasons. You can handle it yourself."
The black-haired sorceress raised her lips and smiled, and continued to watch the fire and listen to the rain in the tent with Shade. The weather in the summer of 1821 was normal. This ordinary rainy day did not have much special meaning, but somehow
It's actually extremely reassuring.
Shade did almost nothing in this short hour. When he appeared in the cloakroom of Flora's room, covered with moisture, the witch immediately came up and sniffed:
"Although the smell of forest soil is very strong, I can smell the scent of perfume. Is it Danister's teacher? You should be lucky that it's me here and not her."
"I just said a few words to her."
"It's raining over there, and you can still smell her perfume. Didn't you huddle together and talk for an hour?"
And by the time Shad lost his glass slipper and returned home, and then went from the tree hole to Miss Elf's tree house, the ceremony here was also over.
The ladies were drinking tea and waiting for Shade. Luvia looked unchanged after losing her qualifications, while Emilia was not directly promoted from the sixth ring to the seventh ring, but the lines on the back of her hands became more complicated.
Now that the qualifications have been transferred, the next step is for Emilia to start her time journey. "Feliana's Notes" and the academy's preparations can be taken out at any time, which means that in theory Emilia can leave now.
.
But Shade is still a little worried, and plans to tell Emilia another story about what happened in the Vista Grove. Of course, in order to prevent her from failing to reach St. Byrons in the small probability, the college also needs to do something
some other preparations.
Therefore, he discussed with Luvia and planned to wait until Friday to let Emilia leave, and the elf in the forest asked Shade to come to her then:
"I know there is a location in the woods that is suitable for holding a ceremony. I will take you there when the time comes."
This Wednesday ended with a group of people saying goodbye to the elves. Emilia looked a little nervous when she returned to the hotel. Shade guessed that she might have insomnia tonight. And he planned to rest after washing, but he still
Before he and little Mia fell asleep, the door was pushed open and closed, and then someone got on the bed.
"Luvia?"
He turned slightly sideways and looked at the purple eyes, and asked in surprise:
"You weren't feeling well last Saturday, and it's only Wednesday now. It's only been five days."
"It's not over yet, I just miss you a little bit."
She kissed Shade gently on the face:
"Carina is on the boat tonight. I originally thought Dorothy or Vanessa would come over tonight, but I just went to look for Dorothy and saw that she was not in the room but went to Agelina's side.
"Vanessa is chatting with Miss Winslet, and I don't think she will be too embarrassed to come over tonight."
She looked at Shade with a smile and put her arms around his neck:
"That's why I'm here. Sometimes I really envy the witches, who work all year round."
"Don't let Carina hear this."
"You're kidding, I don't envy them. I know what you like is what I want to do now? I know you have many tricks."
Shade then held her in his arms:
"In your impression, is my image so bad? Go to sleep, don't you think Miss Sylvia and Margaret are coming tomorrow? If you have time, we can pick them up at the train station.
.”
Luvia nodded lightly and put her head in Shade's arms, and soon they both fell asleep.
She didn't tell the truth just now. In fact, she came here tonight because after the duel with Emilia at night, she saw some impossible things in her fate. She didn't know if she had misinterpreted fate or something else. In short
