Whispering Verse

The familiar white mist appeared around him as Shade stepped forward. The adventure of entering the past time gave Shade a sense of relaxation that he no longer needed to think about or care about anything at the current point in time.

Continuing to move forward, the scenery of Eternal Night City in the Fifth Era slowly opened.

The rain pattered, and the darkness drowned out the glowing mist. However, this time Shade did not appear on the rainy street, but appeared directly on the terrace of the central castle in the city, an area known as the "Twilight Place".

In the semi-circular area, the wall with the straight edge is a closed double metal door, and in the two corners are floor-standing candle lights with the color of the sunset.

Under the curved wall near the periphery of the terrace is a small tent surrounded by three-color moonlight thorn bushes.

At this time, the tent was open, and the big-tailed red dragon girl was sitting on those soft quilts, wearing Shade's coat and a pair of small glasses that she didn't know where they came from. She lowered her head under the illumination of the flame at the tip of her tail. .Knitting something with a sweater.

"Um?"

Although the picture is very warm, it does not conform to Shade's understanding of this place.

This scene once made him think that the final test of Evernight City was to break the illusion. But immediately after Fiona noticed his appearance, she hid the thing she was knitting behind in a panic, and almost knocked down the tent when she stood up. Shade realized that everything in front of her was real.

After snapping her fingers, the three-color moonlight thorn disappeared, and Fiona also walked out of the tent.

She didn't say anything, just opened her arms and hugged Shade. Shade thought that she had been alone here for too long and was sad because of loneliness, so he hugged her, but he didn't expect that the red-haired girl pushed him again and kissed him directly.

This was the first time that Shade had encountered this kind of welcome.

"I said I'd be back."

Until Fiona was finally willing to let him go, Shade still thought that the red-haired girl was depressed which led to this series of actions. Fiona didn't say anything. When she reached out and tried to take off Shade's clothes (note), Shade finally realized that something was wrong and stopped her:

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

"Really~"

The witch lady of the fifth era complained softly and gave up her actions:

"Welcome back, Shade."

The topic seemed to finally be on the right track, but the Red Dragon Witch suddenly twitched her nose and sniffed at Shade's neck, and then asked quite worriedly:

"Why does it smell like evil spirits and demons corroding it?"

She pressed her hand on Shade's left chest to feel her heartbeat, and then frowned deeply:

"Shad, what did you just experience?"

"I encountered an ancient evil spirit. The Stone Mirror Demon - Goethe."

Shade said honestly that this is not very taboo knowledge for the powerful witch of the fifth era.

"Isn't that one of the oldest demons mentioned in the teacher's book?"

Fiona became even more worried.

"Oh, don't worry, my friend has resealed it. I suffered some minor injuries and am recovering now."

Shade patted his chest. Fiona also saw that Shade was recovering, but she was still worried about him encountering a demon:

"I don't have the knowledge of teachers and teachers' teachers. I can't solve your problems in the blink of an eye like them."

She said a little lowly, but Shade no longer wanted to continue this topic, so he asked with concern:

"Speaking of which, why didn't you sleep this time?"

As he spoke, he motioned to Fiona to pack the luggage in the tent together.

"The first two times I slept for too long, I wasn't sleepy at all. So after waking up early, I found something to do for myself."

The red-haired girl yawned softly and ladylikely:

"I discovered that the curtain made by Teacher Feiliana, although you need to constantly try your luck to go to a place you have never been to, the curtain can allow the user to unconditionally return to the place where you have been."

She took advantage of Shade bending down to turn the quilt into a toy, and took the time to put the things she had not finished knitting behind her:

"So I went to cafes, watch shops and art galleries to see if I could buy anything useful."

"Anything gained?"

Shade asked curiously, Fiona shook her head regretfully:

"I recovered part of my lost luggage and bought some miscellaneous items such as wool, but it was not without success. I finally remembered what Teacher Feliana and Teacher Olan Nord wanted to use. At such a price, we can obtain the territory of the future school from the god we are about to meet."

"Very good!"

Xia De felt happy. He didn't expect that the second major event tonight would be solved so easily. If Fiona could remember everything, he wouldn't have to work hard to find a way to get the old god to agree to Miss Feliana's request:

"What's the price?"

"Miss Feliana found a treasure from the First Era that records the stories of the ancient gods. That is a gift that even the gods cannot refuse."

Unexpectedly, the "treasure" mentioned in Miss Danister's information turned out to be real, so "evil beast" and "story" were both wrong answers.

"Then the story on that stone slab is"

Shade asked expectantly. Fiona thought for a moment and said softly:

"The ancient god of Silver Moon came to the material world in the incarnation of a saint, and together with the Sun God, defined day and night. For the [God of Night] we are about to face, this is the most suitable gift."

Shade's smile suddenly froze.

If he remembered correctly, among the treasures that Miss Denist described as being collected by St. Byrons in the Sixth Age, there was the stone tablet that Fiona mentioned at this time. Miss Danister even said that when Shade reaches the twelfth ring, she can take him to see the stone slab.

And the obvious fact is that if Fiona at this time in the fifth era gave that stone slab as a gift to the God of Night they were about to meet, then there would be no reason for that stone slab to be able to appear in the sixth era. The Era is still in the collection of St. Barons Comprehensive College.

In other words, although they had not yet opened the door of the Twilight Place and entered the hall, Shade already knew that Fiona would fail.

"What's wrong?"

The red dragon girl also saw that something was wrong with Xia De. Because it involved future matters, Xia De could not go into too much detail and could only answer simply:

"There is a high probability that something will go wrong with this transaction. Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode, do you have any backup plans?"

Then it was Fiona's turn to frown:

"I remember that there should be one, but I only remember that the backup plan exists, and I don't remember the specific content."

And this time, it was the last time that Shade came to Yongye City. He didn't have time to wait any longer. Even if he was willing to fail this mission and leave to give Fiona more time to recover her memory, the red dragon girl would never want to be left here alone.

She would rather face failure with Shade.

It was very convenient to use [Toy Making] to pack luggage. The two of them packed up the things they wanted to take away while chatting. Only the ancient "Book of Dragons" needed to be carried. Of course, Shad would leave at any time, so Fiona would carry him.

In addition to the things she knitted, Fiona also secretly stuffed Shade's coat into her small bag while Shade wasn't paying attention. When Shade turned around, she pretended to wrap the night curtain around it. Place it around your waist.

But in fact, after Xia De put away his things, he also thought about his clothes, but he did not ask for them:

"Let's go, no matter what, we have to face the next result."

Shade said, reaching out and pressing his chest. At this time, Mia was stored in the form of a toy in the inner pocket of his coat. She was about to face the gods. Shade had no intention of letting the cat out.

He was just thinking that even if he failed to help Miss Fiona achieve her goal this time, he would at least send Fiona out of here safely. There is only one life, and the opportunity to try to make a deal with the gods is not just once for the great witch.

And since among the three possible intelligences obtained in the Sixth Era, the "treasure" option is obviously no longer possible, so among the "interesting stories" and "ancient evil beasts released", Shade is more inclined to go forward. one.

Because he really couldn't imagine what kind of ancient evil beast would appear here.

"Please wait a moment."

Fiona stopped Shade again. She knew that Shade's appearance in Evernight City would be his last. And because you can set off immediately after arriving this time, so a few minutes of forty minutes is not a big deal:

"That, me."

Thinking of what I had just done, I blushed a little, so what I originally wanted to ask if we could meet again turned into other words:

"Do you need me to bring anything to Miss Feliana and Teacher Olanode?"

Although she was annoyed that she was not honest, Fiona was still very satisfied with this issue. If she really couldn't bring back a word, she was pretty sure that even if she perfectly completed her mission to Eternal Night City, the two ladies would be quite dissatisfied.

"This one"

To be honest, Shade really hasn't thought about this issue. During this period of time in the Randall Valley, he has been entangled in the issue of demons and guardians. Even if he considers the past stories, he only thinks about Fiona's safety:

"I wish them good health and I believe we will meet again one day."

There is no need to use your own words to overly influence the future.

After Shade finished speaking, he added:

"Fiona, we will meet again one day, I believe this very much."

The tip of the big tail behind the red dragon girl gently tapped the ground:

"I will also remember our encounter. I hope that the next time we meet, it won't be many years apart. Even if it is many years apart, it's okay. I know from Teacher Olan Nord that you are not like us, but since we span the long river of time, We can all meet. I think fate must have given us a special relationship. We will meet again."
