When Shade and Miss Olanold returned to the Radiant Messenger, the first news they received was that Sister Devlin had arrived.
"Come and say hello."
So the Witch of the Moon pushed Shade gently, her expression still so gentle:
"I know what it's like to wait, so I have to be quick."
"Well, I don't have that kind of relationship with a nun."
"Really not?"
When she smiles, her eyes really curve into the shape of crescent moons:
"Don't explain this to me. These are issues that witches at this point in time need to think about."
The investigation outside consumed an entire afternoon, and it was already approaching evening. Not only Shade and Miss Olanold, but other girls who had gone out were also returning one after another. Under normal circumstances, everyone would not be in the woods at night.
in action.
Sister Devlin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, seemed to be planning to live directly on the ship, so Miss Elisabeth also arranged a room for her. When Shade was led to the nun by the maid, Megan was standing in the nun's room and talking.
She couldn't wait to talk about the "Fire Seal".
Sister Devlin was the first to hear the familiar footsteps in the corridor, so when Shade turned into the door, he looked up and saw the nun in gray and black robes facing the door.
His hands were clasped together and hanging down in front of his chest. Although his head was slightly lowered, the silver eye mask still seemed to be "looking" at Shade. Even though Megan kept talking aside, the maids were busy tidying up the room.
, still does not affect her quiet and cold temperament.
It’s just that the reunion with the nun is not suitable for hugging:
"Sister Devlin, are you here?"
"Sorry for coming a little late, hero of Chenghuo, I will once again be the sharp sword in your hands."
Megan on the side stopped talking and looked at the two people, confirming again that their relationship was definitely not normal.
At this point, all the girls related to Shade who belong to the [Witches Council] have arrived at the Vista Grove. Although a banquet was held for Miss Olanold and Emilia yesterday, the witches have another party tonight.
A grand banquet was held again.
Of course, Shade didn't forget to use the butterfly calling flute to call sisters Helen and Grace. Although the two sisters in black and white dresses hugged Shade's neck and complained that he hadn't visited them for a long time, they didn't visit them after that.
I forgot to leave a light kiss on Shade's cheek.
The only person who was not present at tonight's banquet was Iluna. Luvia actually sent her a secret message, but Iluna wrote back saying that she had something to do and couldn't leave for the time being. She even sent greetings to the returning Ai in the letter.
Milia, and asked Luvia to help her apologize to Miss Olanold and Sister Devlin for not being able to go to the banquet to welcome them.
"Oh, little Liana! Long time no see, do you miss me?"
The elf girl in the forest also received an invitation from Shade. When she appeared with her little unicorn, Emilia immediately greeted her with tears in her eyes.
She hugged her little unicorn's neck, half-knelt on the carpet and stroked the hair on its neck vigorously.
So Shade looked at the cat on his shoulder:
"Would you be so excited if you hadn't seen me for a long time?"
"Meow~"
"Xia De, shouldn't little Mia be asking you this question?"
Xiwei asked with a smile, and Shade rubbed the cat's little head:
"You said that since Flora is willing to teach others the art of transfiguration, is it possible for her to teach a cat the art of transfiguration?"
The great witch of light in a dark red dress smiled and picked up the wine glass:
"It's a very good idea, but it's just a little perverted. Come on, have a drink with me. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, Shade, don't waste your time."
During the banquet, Shade also told the results of the afternoon investigation to Luvia and Miss Daniste. He told the red-haired girl, mainly because no matter what, he still wanted to see Ms. Helena Carter again.
"I don't have an opinion."
The red-haired girl stood under the crystal chandelier holding a goblet, her left hand inserted between her right arm holding the wine glass and her body. Luvia thought carefully:
"Although there is danger, I prefer you to use the time transfer station. Only in this way can we determine the principle of the other party's activation of time travel.
There are not many ways to travel through time in the material world, and I can't figure out what the other party's method is. He can accurately locate time, and even according to the results of your investigation today, he can also accurately locate space, which is incredible."
Shade then nodded:
"Then I'll do this tomorrow night. Speaking of which, how are the Church's preparations to fight against the Paradox Bug army? I've almost finished the investigation here, is there no news from the Church?"
"Iluna mentioned this in her reply. She said that the church thought that if the bugs really appeared, it would be too troublesome to clean them out one by one, so the church wanted to find a way to clean up the bugs on a large scale."
"Well, God descended?"
Shade could only think of this solution, but Luvia shook her head:
"The Paradox Bug is an evil thing that has existed since the first era of antiquity. Before the ancient God of Time left, the ancestors of the elves had already dealt with those bugs. This time for Emilia's sake
As it happened, the nine largest elven clans in the material world have all sent people to the area, so the church wants to find a way from those tree elves."
The elves who revere the Tree Father are called "tree elves", and the elves who revere the Moon Sage are called "moon elves". But these are the names from ancient times. Now that the ancient gods have left, the elves have long ceased to exist.
There will be particularly big gaps due to different beliefs. However, it is said that in ancient times, the disputes between elves of different beliefs were the biggest obstacle to the formation of a unified elven empire.
Sister Devlin usually doesn't like to attend such banquets, but tonight she made an exception and attended the welcome banquet held for her. Shade even saw her taking the initiative to chat with Miss Olanode. Modern Fire Holding
The nun and the ancient librarian had a similar temperament. Seeing them standing together, Shade was actually surprised.
There is no dance planned at the end of the banquet, because it is not the time to hold a celebration banquet yet.
As usual, the girls recommended Shade to let him say the last few words, which usually means that the final preparations before the decisive battle have been made.
The music had stopped, and everyone gathered together to watch Shade holding a glass of wine as he prepared his words. However, Shade thought that everyone present was not an outsider, and there was no need for him to be too formal:
"I have always been pursuing a good ending."
He started with these words. As he was speaking, he saw Luvia in front of the crowd. The purple-eyed fortune teller smiled sweetly at him.
"Since the Tobesk incident last year, more and more of you have gathered around me, and we have faced more and more dangers and challenges. There have been times when I have thought that there is still too much to do in the future.
More, can I really do it, find an ending acceptable to everyone every time, and avoid anyone's death?
But I also know that fate is unpredictable. Maybe one wrong step will lead to irreversible things happening. I persuaded myself at night to accept the possible future, but when I saw the sun in the morning, I told myself not to think about those things.
It’s a mess, I just want the best ending, I just want all the stories to end perfectly.”
The witches laughed and talked softly, and Dorothy in the crowd nodded to Shade. The writer admired Shade's attitude.
"It is now the end of the eighth chapter. After solving the remaining two enemies - this refers to both earth and water as well as the first and third candidates - Emilia will wear the
The crown becomes the heir of time.I"
He looked at the two elf girls standing together. The appearance of the two elf girls, one tall and one short, was too similar. Only Emilia herself couldn't tell the difference:
"I took you and guided you to where you are today. From the first time we met in the Randall Valley, to the adventure stories of Summer Moon Bay, and finally to the trip to the Vista Woodland this fall. I hope that in the next nine
The first time, the tenth time, until the end, you are still standing here looking at me. Until the end of time, I will accompany you to walk this road together until the end of time."
It was rare for a foreigner to be affected by his own emotions. In the end, he couldn't say anything anymore, so he drank the glass of red wine in one gulp. Then everyone also drank all the wine in their hands, and Luvia asked Shade:
"Will the Moon God appear again this time?"
Shade replied firmly:
"It will happen if necessary. The cracks in time will be closed in the moonlight, and those who have walked into the wrong time will be guided by the moon. In any case, it is time for the story of Vesta Grove to come to an end."
Even if he doesn't advance to the ninth level, even if he uses up two drops of his current divinity, Shade will never let Emilia sacrifice herself. No matter what the final "tree planting" ceremony means, he has always been there along the way.
Definitely not to see the girl around him go to tragedy in order to fulfill his wish.
Since everyone had nothing to do tonight, the banquet lasted until very late.
At the banquet, Shade not only talked with Sister Devlin about recent events, but also asked the nuns [Spiritual Order] whether they needed his help to solve the troubles encountered.
Of course he got a negative answer, and regarding the fact that the moon mark on Vanessa's arm provided her with extra time resistance, the nun asked Shade for a small piece of moonfire.
Shade had already integrated the moonfire into the first fire, so the nun could know the changes in this mysterious flame by sensing the moonfire. Of course, she couldn't give an answer right away, but the nun promised to try to ask the flame tonight
The answer, probably tomorrow morning I can tell him the reason for the positive changes in the "Immortal Fire Seal".
