When Luvia opened her eyes, the purple halo in her eyes was much thicker than when Shade first saw her using this special divination. She gave the answer:
"I can only confirm that at our current point in time, Anthony Winslet is not completely dead, but his state is very strange. I obviously got the answer about him, but I can't describe it.
But I know how you can find him. Ask Miss Winslet about his uncle's missing childhood friend, which will lead you to the answer. You have to stay in the 'missing place' until at least three o'clock in the afternoon.
, but this investigation may encounter surprises, so I suggest that you go with Miss Olanode and let her adapt to the combat environment in the Vista Woodland."
When Shade found Flora in the hotel and explained his investigation plan for the afternoon, Miss Owl initially wanted to go with her, but then gave up.
This is not because she learned about Miss Olanode's entourage, but because Carina asked her for help. Currently, the Council is still helping the [Crescent Moon Secret Order] to find things left by the leader of the Fifth Era locally.
Now Carina needs Flora, who is proficient in the art of transformation, to do something, and this time she really needs her.
Of course, Miss Olanold didn't mind going out with Shade, so after getting information from Flora who was reluctant to leave, the two left the ship.
It is worth mentioning that little Mia was originally supposed to find a place to take a nap on the boat where she could bask in the sun, but somehow she ended up with Shade again today. When Shade found it, it was resting on his shoulder.
By that time, he had already entered the silver-white forest with Miss Olanode.
The snow that fell yesterday has almost completely melted in the city. After all, it is only the beginning of winter, but the forest is still covered with snow. The two sets of footprints walked closely together, and the two of them held hands together.
"Teacher Feiliana, Fiona and Amelia have all described your life to me, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I still felt that it was very different from what they said."
The yellow-haired witch smiled and said to Shade. At this time, the silhouette of the big ship was covered by the forest, and the soft snow made a rhythmic sound when stepped on.
"Aren't their descriptions correct?"
"Of course, but everyone has their own focus of description. Teacher Feilianna is concerned about your life, Fiona told me about your family's situation, and Amelia is keen to tell us your adventure stories."
She gently swayed her left arm, causing Shade's right arm to also sway slightly:
"You know what I care about more, Shade?"
"How many girls are there with me?"
Then Miss Oranold smiled tenderly. As an elf hybrid, she has both the elegance of an elf and the gentleness of a human girl:
"I know what you are worried about, but in fact, compared with the Witch Emperor of our time, what you did is not too much. Of course, at that time, even the most powerful Witch Emperor would not think of
More than half of the witches in the entire council have become our own."
She gently squeezed Shade's hand and expressed her feelings without any hesitation:
"You know, we didn't really spend much time together before this. Sometimes when I'm walking through the corridors of the college, I wonder, do I really know you?"
Shade turned to look at her:
"Now you want to get to know me again and then review our relationship?"
"What are you talking about?"
The force of squeezing Xia De's hand became slightly stronger:
"When I came to your time, when I saw you again, I understood you completely. Shade, I really envy Denise Gustave, and I envy her that she can be in such a capacity
Living in the same era as you."
"I have been looking for a way to let you come to me after completing your respective missions and tasks in the Fifth Era."
A smile appeared on the witch's lips, and her arms swung wider:
"Tell me honestly, Shade, what do you think of Denise Gustave? I talked to her very late last night. I originally wanted to learn more about you from her, but I didn't
Her thoughts can be heard in her words."
"What did she think?"
"You answer my questions first, and then I'll tell you."
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xia De, who could only admit in a low voice:
"I have a crush on Miss Denister."
"Is it just a good impression?"
"I like it."
"You have to admit it if you like it, Shade, just like the girls around you should all understand that those who start late can't even grab the snack. And you who are favored by us, don't let us wait too long."
In the end, she didn't tell Shade what Miss Daniste was thinking. But Shade understood what she meant, so he squeezed her hand gently, and the two of them continued to move forward.
"Meow~"
The cat thinks these two people are boring.
Flora's uncle Anthony Winslet's friend also came from a noble family, but he was not a native of Ximu Town. He was also a noble family from Willondale, but his family background was not as strong as the Winslet family.
The other party disappeared in 1819, when they were 11 and 12 years old respectively. They both followed their parents to Ximu Town. Children always like adventure, not to mention children living in cities are more curious about the forest.
appearance.
In the winter of 1819, the two entered the forest together without telling the adults at home. By the time the adults discovered that the child was missing, it was already the evening of that day.
Earl Winslet and Viscount Fuller mobilized almost everyone to search. The Earl even persuaded the soldiers in the two military camps of "Twilight Forest Post" and "Aronson River Camp" to serve as guides to help find people.
At dawn, the hunter's hound found the frozen and dying Anthony Winslet in the snow, but the 11-year-old boy Sheldon Fuller never appeared again.
This incident was also a big deal at that time. When Anthony Winslet woke up, he only remembered that they got lost in the forest, and then it became colder and colder until he passed out.
Nowadays, people generally believe that the lost boy may have encountered a wild wolf foraging for food in winter, or fell into a hole in the forest that is not easy to detect. In short, there is no definite conclusion on this matter. At that time, Flora had not yet
Birth - Some time ago, when Shade was looking for a pure girl under the age of 25, she found out that she was just 26 years old. She also investigated all the things about her uncle before going to the local area to find someone.
Anthony Winslet, who disappeared ten years ago, did not take many things with him before leaving home, so his diaries and personal letters were preserved, and these clues were obtained.
The last trace left by this "uncle" was the ferry ticket from Willondale to Vista that he asked someone to buy. It was this that made Flora come to the local area to find someone.
The approximate area where the boy disappeared more than thirty years ago has been marked on the map by Flora. In the past two months, when the owl had nothing to do, it also flew to this area to investigate, but unfortunately found nothing.
But since Luvia's divination guided Shade to come here again, Shade believed that he would definitely gain something today.
"Mia, since you followed me out, if you notice any suspicious smell later, remember to remind me."
"Meow~"
On the map of the hermits, there are several small marks representing "broken ruins" within the missing area, which means that although there are ancient buildings nearby, they have no effect.
Shade originally thought that this would not affect the subsequent investigation, but when he approached the area, he discovered that there were large footprints on the ground.
Miss Olanode signaled to Shade to be silent, then she released a yellow ball of light that penetrated into the snow, and not long after, she told Shade the result:
"It's the academic ring wizards of this era who are surveying the nearby ruins."
Her finger pointed to the map that Shade unfolded, which marked where there was a small temple of the old god [Lady of Hunting].
"They're probably trying to repair it, so let's stay out of the way."
Shade suggested, Miss Olanode nodded slightly, and then asked Shade:
"How much do you know about the Old God [Lady of the Hunt]?"
This tone sounded like a teacher testing a student, so Shade walked around to the left with her while answering more seriously:
"This god holds the power of hunting, and people believe that worshiping him can bring good luck when shooting arrows. He is the protector of hunters running in the woods, and is usually represented by a female character in mythology and religious texts.
The image appears.”
"I don't know if it's the knowledge spread in your era that's wrong, or if you didn't study hard."
The witch corrected with a smile:
"It is not 'the protector of the hunters who run in the forest', but 'the protector of the hunters who run in the forest under the moon'. I have dealt with the believers of this god. In addition to being good at hunting, they
In addition to the power of tracking, the forest also inherits some knowledge of the moon."
"You mean."
"Yes, the power of the Hunting Goddess should be related to both the Tree Father and the Sage."
Miss Olanold explained to Shade:
"In order to go further, I have tried to explore the traces left by the Moon Sage, but from the ancient mythological era to the era of my life, no matter how many traces there are, they have been explored by the ancestors. Since there is no ancient god
If there are traces, then look for the traces of the old gods related to the Moon Sage.
I relied on this method to finally climb the road to demigods, but unfortunately I still have to go to the last step. As for dealing with the believers of [Hunting Lady], even in the past two years. Emilia has also never
They learned good archery skills there."
Shade thought of the scene he saw not long ago of elves practicing archery in the snow.
Miss Olanode eliminated the two people's footprints to prevent them from being noticed by other ring magicians operating nearby. During the subsequent detailed search of the area, the two did not find any valuable traces.
